The young Spanish tennis player, Carlos Alcaraz, was still incredulous about his victory at Wimbledon and his victory over Novak Djokovic. In a press conference, Alcaraz admitted that it will take him several days to assimilate his achievement. The 18-year-old won his first Wimbledon and added to the US Open title he won last year.
Explaining his victory at Wimbledon, Alcaraz highlighted his mental preparation and how he worked to improve that area after his Roland Garros semifinal loss to Djokovic, where he felt physical discomfort and admitted not being well prepared mentally. This time, he did mental exercises before the match at Wimbledon, which helped him be more relaxed and handle the pressure.
In addition to his success at Wimbledon, Alcaraz also spoke about his participation in the Hopman Cup, where he expressed his desire to live that experience and play with women in mixed doubles. However, after the tournament, he admitted that he hadn’t touched a racket since Sunday.
As for his upcoming tournaments, Alcaraz will team up with Rebeka Masarova in Nice. He then plans to compete in the Toronto and Cincinnati Masters 1000, where he approaches each tournament with the mentality of winning it. However, his main goal is to defend his title at the US Open, which begins on August 21.
